PICKPOCKET PARTY

@1067 Pacific Street, Brooklyn
Door is open at 7PM and we start prompt at 8PM

So what's the deal? PICKPOCKET PARTY is like Chocolate: you have to try it out to know how good it is! Do we have a deep economic connection? How can we get our stolen desires back? Let's dance it together; where a party is a Dance, a Participatory Social Experiment, an outlaw and a desire to transform the system. Challenge yourself with the Art of Pickpocketing Performances by Andrea Haenggi, Carrie Ahern and Natalia Karam with DJ Darryl Hell.
INSTRUCTION: Please bring one or more US$1 Dollar Bills with your message on it that we all can pickpocket. Write down what desire(s) would you like to steal back.

The party unfolds around one-to-one performances, meaning each visitor experiences each performance on their own. Gradually it moves into dancing for everyone to the spinning industrial jungle beats by DJ Darryl Hell. The female performers Andrea Haenggi, Carrie Ahern and Natalia Karam want you become a pickpocket. So a tutorial crash course in the art of picking a pocket delivered in dulcet yoga instructor style transforms the party into a participatory social experiment. What happens if everyone senses his or her outlaw body and the evening becomes a "stealing" dance party?
Are we all victims now? Are we in a culture of fear? How do we deal with possession? Quick. Alive. Hands that slide. Hands that alight. Hands that steal. Out of necessity? Or an appetite of danger? The Art of a Team. The Art of Destruction. The Art of Compassion. The Art of Attention. A Social Experiment. A Dance. Do you want me to call the police?
In PICKPOCKET PARTY the hand and its different gestures, which stem from various quoted sources, plays the central role. Each performers links to a choreography of hands, which places the everyday treatment of money and exchange of goods carried out by our hands in the center and creates choreographic moments out of the "outlaw" gesture "pickpocket". Sources of inspiration are such as Robert Bresson's movie Pickpocket, Yvonne Rainer's film Hand Movie and our own personal desire to sensitize our hands to re-connect with the other to find the social commentary what are we taking from each other.
TRANSPARENCY: WHERE THE TICKET PROCEEDS WILL GO? WHO IS 1067 PacificPeople?
The ticket proceeds of the performance project "PICKPOCKET PARTY" will go towards the monthly rent of the 1067 PacificPeople encampment in Crown Heights. 1067 PacificPeople declares that the age of surveillance has not gone far enough. More surveillance, more seeing! more looking! more touching! more talking! We move between the borders of live-performance, dance, arts, politics and life. We are seeking to free ourselves from the frameworks of those disciplines. In doing we aim to break such frameworks open to find new New Raw. Unprocessed. Not for sale. We are group of people coming from Live-Performance, Dance, Writing, Choreography, Film, Journalism, Ecology, Art, Activism and the Art of the Practical. We are a group that works sometimes together but not always. We love to work as well with others.1067 PacificPeople is a 5years body-based art project by Andrea Haenggi (artist, choreographer and performer). She started the project in January 2013 together with journalist Robert Neuwirth (writer/journalist) and since 2015 as well is joined with core people Carrie Ahern (choreographer/performer), Tuva Hildebrand (choreographer/performer) and Christopher Moyran (writer). Our Philosophy is once you enter 1067 PacificPeople encampment you become one of the 1067 PacificPeople for the time period you are with us though our live-interactions.
